Awake Ye Mysteries

I may have judged too soon,

seeing the glass half empty

instead of brimming

 with hope,

wondering why

I feel depleted,

like a tank on empty,

merely

needing an infusion

of perspective

replete with wonders

of illusion,

mind-bending tricks

to soothe the realities

asleep at my feet,

awake ye mysteries,

bring on the wonders,

the fun house mirrors,

show me magic,

fill my cup with nectar sweet,

let me see

beyond the glass half empty,

let me see

beyond the limits

set by me,

set me free

to see the gilded gifts

in front of me.
